BXBX NOVEL Chapter 209: Not real Mom?!
Huh? With a wry smile, Ning Zuiye shook her head. "No, sister Xue, she is not my real daughter."
"Not your real daughter? You adopted her?" Ning Xue arrowed her eyes.
"Uh, yeah," Ning Zuiye said, scratching her neck.
"Why did you take an adoptive child, Zui\'er? You are still so young."
Ning Zuiye spoke with a dry smile "Actually, after the incident in the palace, I got scared of talking to anyone, especially men, so I distanced myself and stayed in the home all day long."
H-Huh? Ning Xue was startled to hear this. Did she get traumatized?
"My parents here also were not much concerned because I was young and thought I would gradually recover from it."
With a sigh, she continued, "But after 24 years, I was still shut at home and knew no one from the outside world; I only know my father, mother, and the maid here."
"So, my parents are worried... and thought it would be better to find a man for me and slowly get out of the phobia and marry him."
Ning Xue squinted her eyes "You are just 24; it is still too young to get married."
Ning Zuiye shook her head "No, Sister Xue, by human standards it is the right age to get married."
"Oh, I see..." Ning Zue was amused hearing this.
Ning Zuiye continued to speak"So they set up a date with a man from the military my father knows and my father said he was a good guy."
"But... when he came home to pick me up for the date, I was too scared and hurriedly ran to my room, shutting myself in again."
"So my father and mother are worried about my condition. They also wished to see me get married and want to see their grandchildren."
"But I can\'t just marry any random man... " and as cultivators, their chastityis more important to them.
Ning Xue frowned. "So you responded to their desire and adopted a girl?"
Ning Zuiye gave a slight nod "Yeah..."
Ning Xue clicked her tongue and said, "They should already be grateful that they got a daughter when they couldn\'t conceive a child. Now they even want grandchildren? How selfish."
Ning Zuiye shook her head "No, sister Xue... they took care of me all these years, and I don\'t want to get married to a man, so this is the least I could do."
Ning Xue let out a sigh "Whatever... well, um... I am also grateful that they took you in and raised you."
Ning Zuiye chuckled upon hearing this and Ning Xue asked curiously "Is she aware that she is adopted?"
Ning Zuiye nodded her head "Well, after being quite mature, she asked me herself if I am her real mother as I have never shown her a Dad or even talked about him."
"Hmm..." Ning Xue mused under her breath but then her eyes narrowed as she remembered something.
"You said you hate men... but you were close with Tian, you even hugged him."
Upon hearing this, Ning quite smiled gently "Well, he saved me from some guys and he looked so cool and beautiful at that time."
"So I don\'t know why but I can\'t hate him. He is also so cute and nice to me... he even praises me making me blush....."
Ning Xue narrowed her gaze seeing Ning Zuiye chanting about Zhao Tian "You do not have any weird ideas about Zhao Tian, right?"
Ming Zuiye stopped and tilted her head "Weird ideas?"
Ning Xue nodded her head "Yeah like loving him or marrying him?"
E-Eh? Ning Zuiye was dumbfounded by the question and an instant blush appeared on her cheeks "U-Uhh... No Sister Xue... we are just good friends." she stammered.
Ning Xue scoffed "You better, because Tian is my man..."
"Y-Yeah..."
(A/n: Now don\'t come at me.. saying her being a virgin is an asspull from the author.. I already hinted about her condition in chapters 79 and 69. T-T )
...
Cai Luo\'s eyes fluttered open and she saw the black thing splattered all around her body. With a deep breath, she flowed her astral energy through her meridians for a check.
"Haah, I feel great...." She let out a sigh and clenched her fist as a sudden frown appeared on her face.
"My muscles still feel a bit stiff," she muttered and stood up stretching her arms.
As she glanced around, she smiled wryly "I gotta clean all of this and bath."
...
After a while, Cai Luo stepped out of the bathroom, a white towel wrapped around her body. She has already done cleaning and bathing.
As she came into the bedroom, she saw Zhao Tian sleeping on the couch. With a soft smile on her face, she walked to the Closet.
She quickly took some comfortable t-shirt and pants and wore them. She walked near Zhao Tian, gathering her hair up into a neat bun.
"Tian..." She gently shook his body with a soft call, stirring him up from his sleep.
Zhao Tian blinked his eyes open feeling someone shaking his body and moved his body, sitting on the couch "Sorry, I slept..."
Cai Luo\'s eyes softened, seeing that he waited for her, and shook her head "No problem..."
Zhao Tian raised his gaze and asked, "How is your body?"
Cai Luo nodded her head "It\'s all good now..."
Zhao Tian stood up from the couch and a yellow pill bottle appeared in his hand "Here are some body strengthening pills."
Cai Luo nodded gratefully and accepted the pill bottle. Zhao Tian quickly took his mobile from his pocket and looked at the time "It\'s already evening, so I am leaving..." he also has to meet Ning Xue.
But Cai Luo gently grabbed his wrist "It\'s already evening, so let\'s have some coffee and then you can leave. Some tea or coffee?"
Zhao Tian slightly frowned but then he sighed "Coffee."
Cai Luo let go of his hand and smiled "Go and wash your face... I will prepare coffee."
...
After Zhao Tia finished washing his face, he made his way to the hall and then proceeded to walk into the kitchen. Cai Luo took a quick glimpse at his face and again concentrated on the milk.
Zhao Tian walked to the refrigerator "Is there anything sweet?" he asked opening the door.
"Hm? There are candies and chocolates, ah, there is a cake I bought yesterday..."
With a smile, Zhao Tian took the cake in his hand and took a spoon as he made his way to the living room.
-_- Eh? Caui Luo was bewildered "You are going to have Coffee. Who would eat cake before that?"
"I do."
